Ok, I'm officially embarrassed

For Kansas, and our country by association:

Headline: "Kansas State Board Votes to Teach Intelligent Design in Schools"

From another article (which will, unfortunately, expire):

In addition, the board rewrote the definition of science, so that it is no longer limited to the search for natural explanations of phenomena.

*sigh*

I guess I can look forward to what the Onion is going to write about this. But that's small comfort.

I went to a private liberal arts college and took a class on the historical discussion between religion and science. A big portion was on the development of ID and another topic (neural science... far more interesting). Undergrads were not only able to discover that ID was not only bad science but bad mathematics as well.

while surfing around this morning i came upon a link to this site:

veganza.org

which tells all about the church of the flying spagetti monster, an alternative to evolution and id. it's freakin hilarious and there's an open letter to the kansas school board there. hehehe
